The Darkling Domains gave Lumos a chill on his back. Eerie, and mysterious. Architecturally-wise, he liked the place. It differed completely from the extravagant and majestic buildings of the land he had known as a child. In comparison, it was utterly simplistic. But then again, it was something new. 

He had never been there, and as far as he knew, neither had his father. Even though his profession meant a lot of traveling, he couldn't recall any stories about this unknown land, so he didn't know what to expect. 

Although he fell in love with the architecture, he couldn't say the same about the region itself. It still was relatively early, but he could see the sky darkening already. And the fact that a dozen pair of eyes were looking at him as if he were some kind of strange specimen didn't help much either. He was a nervous, even shaking. He didn't blend in within the crowd, and this made him feel uncomfortable.
 
[color=f7941d][i]This isn't home for sure[/i][/color], he said to himself, as he saw the small café in which he would see his partners for the first time. It was cozy, the kind of establishment he enjoyed. It was in places like this where he had made his most close friends, where you could have some of the best discussions with some of the greatest minds he had encountered. Real, honest conversations with real, honest people. 

When he saw the reserved spot already occupied by someone, he grinned. [i][color=f7941d]Great, now I don't have to wait![/color][/i], but then realized, he had no idea of how was he supposed to approach him. He suddenly got nervous again, and started to walk a bit slower. By the time he got to the table, he sat carefully and, after awkwardly staring at the man in front of him for a few seconds, he finally said:
[color=f7941d]"Um... h-hello..."[/color]
